i got a question guys, recently i went to jaben and tried out a few headphones and earphones. One thing that struck me was when i listened to the dt231,TAD300,Goldring dr100 and the beyer XP1,2,3. I had this problem.

At certain parts of a song it would be ear piercingly sharp, and when I use the beyer XP series the songs I played were so piercingly sharp that I couldn't hear the lyrics. The songs I tested with was "Catch my breath" and "Closer to the edge".

I'm not sure if it was the song but when I switched from the beyer xp series to the dt231 it was like 300x better. Is it the earphones are a bit damaged or is it the songs? Tried it from an Iphone4s and a Galaxy S3 can someone give me some input on this?

Because honestly I don't think it should be having these problems because I never read anything about what's happening to me pop up in forums. Is it the treble is too much and I need to reduce it with an EQ? I used a dunu trident and the sharp and screechy sound wasn't there like the beyer xp series had.

Planning to get headphones in February so would like some advice.

- Budget : < RM400 max
- Your rig : PC,MP3 player(ipod/hippo gumstick),Galaxy S3
- What type of usage : Pure music listening
- File format used in your source : mp3,flac
- Genre of music you listen to : j-rock,rock,R&B,soundtracks
- Headphone/ earphone type : Circumaural/open/closed (will try both open and close before buying so just give suggestion)
- Other requirements : I don't want a headphone with a bright signature because my ears can't handle the sharp treble. I want punchy bass but not boomy.

no recommendations for me?

thanks will try them out at jaben

does the cable make a difference?

hmm guys getting 2 headphones prolly 1 open 1 closed RM500 total for both.

Music : Balanced almost all genre
Source : Mostly PC or maybe Colorfly C3 and Hisound Nova 1

My signature not too bright because my ears cant handle too much treble ear piercing D:

Roccat kave?

just get a Roccat Kulo or Razer Carcharias. If want compare sound quality normal headphones are a lot better no need spend so much on gaming headphones you wont exactly get premium sound. Most movies and music don't come in 5.1 surround only benefit is in-game. So if gaming just get a normal headset if you really want 5.1 go sirius than. Music+movies = Normal headphones(as in not gaming headset) some gaming headset still has good quality sound but not exactly exceptional when compared to headphone of same price.

I like my Dunu Topsound Trident's they have nice tight and punchy bass and has really good clarity which I enjoy to use to listen to my Ragnarok Online Soundtrack. Can give it a shot I think RM120 only.

Not that far just take highway near the bangsar village one straight line come out from sunway and continue going straight reach subang should take 15-30min

Spend RM250 for the klipsch S4 or Munitio Billets RM200 from "hon kin" or you can head over to Jaben and test out the Beyer XP series

Looking for an IEM around the price of the FAD Adagio III, I tried the Adagio III really clear really good cant imagine something being that clear and smooth god hahaha!!!!

But still I wanna look around a bit more before I settle So any recommendations? IIRC they are about RM500

I listen to almost every genre so a nice balanced one would be nice.

Looking for a closed headphone over the ear i dont mind semi open as well.

Use to listen to wide genre of music and watching movie etc.

My budget is RM150-200~

was thinkin of ath-TAD300 jaben rm199

any reccomendations for me???

If up to rm250 any good over ears?

gettin a a500x at like around RM2xx good deal anyone got any impressions on it?

My Rig: S3 and nova n1
- Type of usage: Music on the go
- File format: mp3.flac.
- Music genre: all
- Budget: rm200-300
- Headphone/ earphone type: Over ears closed
- Other requirements (if any): good isolation from outside sound. Comfortable.

Hey guys im currently using a Dunu Trident, but after listening to my ms1i and a500x on my fiio e10 I feel that it doesn't give me the experience that I want anymore.

Because of that can someone suggest me an IEM or a portable over the ears from RM200-300. Will be using this outside in malls/college/etc. But college hallways so a bit of sound leak is not a problem.

I listen to all genre of music except for dubstep and house so im not into ground shaking bass, i like nice controlled punchy bass.

My source will be either my S3 or the Nova N1.

Right now eyeing the FAD Adagio II and the ATH SJ55/FC707

Thank you very much for reading.

actually was wondering something about headphones? at what stage can you start writing reviews for headphones? as in like what gear at least do you need to begin? Would an AD900X be enough or does it have to be like the HD650 or the Beyer T1?

Anyways im here for recommendations!

I already have AD900x on the way so i'm looking for something within the same price point. A closed back headphone AND a portable. Depending on my choice I will chose either but not both, i'm having my eyes on the beyer custom one pro(can i use that as a portable xD?) so maybe right now just a portable which can give me the same sound as the beyer custom one pro.
